new banner exhibit from the

DNA to Beer: Harnessing
Nature in Medicine and
Technology explores some of
the processes, problems,
and potentials inherent in
technologies that use life.
Tiny microbes such as bacte-
ria, yeasts, and molds can
cause sickness or restore
health, and help produce
foods and beverages.

derstanding of the dynamic
relationship between mi-
crobes, technology, and sci-
ence and medicine.
